CMS is making its third straight appearance, after earning its first bid since 1996 during the 2024 campaign, when it won two games at East Texas Baptist to advance to the regional finals. A year ago, the Stags won the first regional in program history in Wisconsin-La Crosse, and advanced to the Super Regionals at Endicott.
CMS won its first SCIAC regular season title this year since 1990 with a three-game sweep of Cal Lutheran on the final weekend, and
Alex Henderson was named the SCIAC Player of the Year.
Henderson has proven to be a postseason monster in his Stags career, hitting a whopping 11 home runs in seven NCAA Tournament games last year. He two three-homer games at the NCAA Regionals at Wisconsin-La Crosse, finishing with nine homers in five games, and then finished with a two-homer game at Endicott.
This year, Henderson hit five home runs in four games in the SCIAC Tournament last week, ending with a pair two-homer games on the final day, and now has 18 this yeasr – which is two shy of the CMS record for a season, set by
Andrew Mazzone two years ago. As a team, CMS ranks No. 1 in the nation in home runs with 92.

The Sagehens made their way to the NCAA Tournament with a 31-12 overall record, going 17-7 in SCIAC play, finishing second in the regular season. Pomona-Pitzer went on to sweep their way through the SCIAC Tournament with wins over Redlands (11-1), La Verne (6-5) and CMS in the Championship game (10-8).
Last season, the Sagehens also made it to the Regional Round of the NCAA Tournament where they fell to McMurray University in the final round of Regionals. Pomona-Pitzer will look to get back to the Super Regional round for the first time since 2024, which included a program best in wins and their first ever trip to the Division III College World Series.
